INTRODUCTION
The Phalanx II Network Attached Storage (NAS) System is optimized for Size, Weight
and Power (SWaP) in a small form factor (SFF) designed for military applications. It is
fan-less design that is fully sealed for protection against dust and corrosive elements
and is designed to meet rigorous military standards. The Phalanx II provides multiple
protocols to present robust storage across Ethernet networks. An easy to use Graphic
User Interface (GUI) is provided to allow for configuration and administration of its high
performance data storage through commonly available Internet browsers.
This manual will provide an overview of the system and its configuration at an essential
level. Tuning and configuring the system for specific environments and applications can
be accomplished by working with Phoenix International’s technical team, though a
majority of requirements will be met by utilizing the information in this manual.

The system is delivered with a pre-initialized RAID0 configuration that contains an EXT4
file system. This is to allow for rapid deployment of network storage after some basic
configuration of protocols and network shares.
The default configuration of the two 10Gb Ethernet ports includes “Jumbo Frames”
being enabled (MTU=9000).

User Manual
Phalanx II User Manual 6 Rev. B May 2019
NAS ADMINISTRATION
Administration of the Phalanx II is done through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that
can be accessed with a standard Internet Browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Explorer).
Point the browser to the IP address of the GUI (default: 10.0.0.1), and log into the
interface using the administration login credentials (default: admin, password).
Once logged in, there are two main sections to the GUI. On the left of the GUI window
there is an array of Tools which can be selected to administer the NAS. On the right of
the screen is the window that displays information and/or options for the items that are
selected on the left. At the upper right of the Information window there is a button
that, when selected, pulls down a menu that allows the user to shutdown, reboot, or
logout of the Phalanx II.
Quick Start - Connecting storage to the network:
The following steps, explained below, will allow the sharing of the data drives that are
installed in the Phalanx II via an Ethernet network. If a RAID set and Files System have
been pre-built on the system from the factory, skip to step 4.
1. Create RAID set.
Phalanx II NAS
User Manual
Phalanx II User Manual 7 Rev. B May 2019
2. Create a File System (FS) on the RAID set.
3. Mount the File System.
4. Create a Share (shared folder) on the FS.
5. Assign user permissions to the Share.
6. Enable a file transfer Network Protocol.
7. Assign the Share to a Network Protocol (NFS/CIFS).
WARNING: Do not unmount, delete, or in any way modify “/dev/sdc”. This is the
systems OS drive. Any changes to this system device can render the NAS inoperable.
Note: After each configuration change, apply the changes via the yellow banner at the
top of the information window before making further modifications.
1. Create a RAID Set
A RAID set is a group of disk drives that are logically connected together to allow for
greater capacity and/or redundancy than an individual disk drive. The Phalanx II
supports two levels of RAID:
-RAID0 - combines the capacity of two disk drives together to create one,
larger, disk. Provides a fast storage pool, but is not redundant. If one disk
fails, all data is lost.
-RAID1 –Mirrors two disks so that if one disk fails, all data is still
persevered. Only has the capacity of one of the two disks. Enhanced read
performance to multiple clients.
To create a RAID set with the two data drives installed in the Phalanx II, select the
“RAID Management” tool under “Storage” on the left side of the GUI.
-Once in the RAID Management window, select the “Create” button. This
will open a new window that will allow the user to assign a name to the
RAID set, select the RAID level, and assign the storage devices to be
used.
-Assign a name to the RAID set.
-Select the RAID level from the pull down menu. Select either Stripe
(RAID0) or Mirror (RAID1). Other RAID levels are either not supported
due to the number of drives installed in the Phalanx II, or are not
recommended.
-Select the checkboxes next to the two drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb) that
are displayed to use the drives in the RAID set.
-Select “Create” and wait for RAID set to complete building before
continuing on to creating a file system on the RAID set. When the RAID
set is done building, a new storage device will be presented to the NAS
Phalanx II NAS
User Manual
Phalanx II User Manual 8 Rev. B May 2019
called /dev/md0, this is the new RAID set that the File System will be built
on in the next step.
-Apply the changes via the yellow banner at the top of the information
window before making further modifications.
2. Create a File System on the RAID set
WARNING: Do not unmount, delete, or in any way modify “/dev/sdc”. This is the
systems OS drive. Any changes to this system device can render the NAS inoperable.
To create a File System on the RAID set, select the “File Systems” tool under “Storage”
on the left side of the GUI.
-Once in the File Systems window, select the “Create” button. This will
open a new window that will allow the user to assign a label to the File
System, select the File System type, and assign the RAID set (Device) the
File System will be written to.
-Select the Device from the pull-down menu (/dev/md0).
-Assign a “Label” to the File System.
-Select the File System type from the pull-down menu. EXT4 is
recommended for most applications.
-Select the “OK” button and wait for the file system to complete building.
This can take a very long time depending on the RAID level and capacity
of the storage devices.
3. Mount the File System
After the File System creation has completed successfully, select “/dev/md0” from the
File System list and select the “Mount” button.
Apply the changes via the yellow banner at the top of the information window before
making further modifications.
Caution: When mounting a file system, only press the “Mount” button once. It may take
several minutes for the system to react to the mount request. Clicking on the Mount
button more than once at this stage will cause OS errors.
4. Create a Share (shared folder) on the FS
The next step is to create a Shared Folder on the Files System/RAID set. To create a
Shared Folder on the File System, select the “Shared Folders” tool under “Access Rights
Management” on the left side of the GUI.
-Select the “Add” button in the upper left of the Information window. This
will pull up a window that allow the user to configure the Shared Folder.
Phalanx II NAS
User Manual
Phalanx II User Manual 9 Rev. B May 2019
-Enter a name for the new Shared Folder in the “Name” field. This will
automatically populate the “Path” field in the same window. This “Path”
name is the name of the folder on the RAID set that is being shared, and
is the name used when connecting to the share when using SMB/CIFS.
-Select the device the new Shared Folder will be created on. This will be
the name of the File System that was just created.
-Assign the desired permission levels from the “Permissions” pull-down
menu. The default setting is sufficient in most applications.
-Select the “Save” button at the bottom of the “Add shared folder” window
and apply the changes via the yellow banner at the top of the information
window before making further modifications.
5. Assign user permissions to the Share
After adding the Shared Folder, select the folder just created and then select the
“privileges” button above it.
-Select the “Read/Write” checkbox next to the default ”user” accounts and
then select the “Save” button. This will assign read/write access to the
newly created share for the username “user” (default password =
password).
-Apply the changes via the yellow banner at the top of the information
window before making further modifications.
If other usernames are needed for access to the share, select the “User” tool under
“Access Rights Management” on the left side of the GUI. This will allow you to create
and/or modify User information. After creating a new user, permissions have to be
assigned to a share before that user can access the share.
6. Enable a file transfer Network Protocol
Under the “Services” tool on the left side of the screen, select the Protocol that the
Shared Folder will be shared across the network with (e.g. SMB/CIFS, NFS, or FTP). For
SMB/CIFS or FTP, the default setting will be sufficient for most applications.
-Select the “Enable” slider button and then select “Save” to enable and
start the service/protocol. Apply the changes via the yellow banner at the
top of the information window before making further modifications.
7. Assign the Share to the Network Protocol
The final step is to assign a share to the protocol/service that was just started.
-In the information window of the protocol that was just started, select the
“Shares” tab.
